Dear Gaile and Bob,

Our son John informed us of the death of your Mom. We are very sorry to hear the news. This can be a sad time of the year and we only hope that you are able to picture her in heaven enjoying her eternal reward. We know that John would have liked to be here to share in your sorrow, but time and distance have prevented that from happening.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.

John and Pat Brynda
